Description

This sonata is not strictly tonal, but rather constructed from successive poles. Its language owes much to melodic turns derived from fragments of modes with limited transpositions and superimpositions of classified chords, either vertical or arpeggiated, creating what could be called a kind of multi-tonality.

Heavily inspired by the film *The Baker's Wife*, the second movement reprises, towards the end, elements from the beginning, modified and in a higher register, like Raimu when he addresses to his cat the reproaches he intended for his wife. In the second part of the movement, the piano plays the role of the alarm bell that announced the end of the film and, in the sonata, the end of the second movement.

The third movement is a joyful variation on the element on which the previous movement is built.
